Restaurateur

Kew Grill which serve his unique retro grill style cuisine using only the best, locally sourced ingredients and The Greyhound in Rotherfield Peppard,
just outside of Henley-on-Thames, serving a great selection of beers & ales, too. Antony is usually to be found in the kitchen of this picturesque pub.

Chef

The kitchen has become my playground where I experiment, with the modern as well as the classics. Not everything works, but where would I be if I didn't continue to search the holy grail of cooking. Don't get me wrong I have no inclination at my age to go deeper into the science but, I am passionate about the every day use of every day ingredients without the use of scientific powders, pastes & theories.

Author

I have produced 32 books "at the last count" but at present I'm suffering from writers block. As I spend time in the kitchen re-building my team I feel this block being removed. As still have the imagination of a child, I still have the ability to write, all I need now is to bring these two together.

The Chef

Never thought I'd be there at my age but, I'm back on the stove. Mainly at the greyhound and more recently at Kew upgrading the menus.

The kitchen has become my playground where I experiment, with the modern as well as the classics. Not everything works, but where would I be if I didn't continue to search the holy grail of cooking. Don't get me wrong I have no inclination at my age to go deeper into the science but, I am passionate about the every day use of every day ingredients without the use of scientific powders, pastes & theories.

My bug is food wastage as a society we throwaway 40% of food we produce or buy, I simply will not let this happen in my restaurants. There is a use for every part of every ingredient.

GI Diet

The Glycaemic Index (GI) is a measure of how fast carbohydrates are broken down by your body and therefore how fast they raise blood sugar levels. Unlike other diets, it distinguishes between different types of carbohydrates, so that you don't have to eliminate any food groups, allowing you to eat a balanced range of foods and ensuring that your weight loss is steady and healthy.
